How do I fix "Update Finishing in Background" error on my iPhone?

Hello people,

As usual after ios 18 in battery settings after updaying message appeared “update finishing in background” for about max 2 or 3 days and then disappeared. But since ios 18.3.1 update, it’s about 10 days i see againg message in battery settings “update finishing in background”, which doesn’t disappear, please if anyone have same situation or knows how to resolve this problem or bug, I don’t even know if it is bug or have to be so, but 10 days is big period.

I have the same insight and suggestion displaying in the battery section. My iPhone 14+ is up to date as are my apps. Been there for 24 hours. I’ve power cycled my phone and performed a hard reset (volume toggle and holding side button until Apple logo appears) and it’s still there.


what is it updating?
